I've been listening to these guys. I first caught them during the start of the Tickle Conspiracy and started again when looking into lobotomy for the umpteenth time.

Solid comedy podcast, good subjects and it's making me laugh quite a lot.

I've not gone through them all but I can say that the Tickling, lobotomy, Tank chase and Purity ball episodes have been pretty great. I've got fairly high hopes for the others. The backstory to the tank chase guy is hilarious/tragic/absolutely insane.

Cracked writes some interesting articles sometimes, even if they are mired in pop-science and speculation on occasion. This is an interesting article listing some reasons the police are getting more over-the-top.

$1200: I'll pay someone to film a thank-you video for all of my backers!

A BIG STRETCH GOAL:

We're really tearing through these stretch goals. I honestly don't know what is realistic anymore. So, I thought maybe we try to double the current number?

$3000: My kitchen is too small! I will rent out a party hall and invite the whole internet to the potato salad party (only $10 and above will be allowed in the kitchen)! The internet loves potato salad! Let's show them that potato salad loves the internet!!

Original goal - $10.

Current standing - $50K.

Days remaining - 19.

I am in awe.

Free potato salad for the whole internet (with the posibility to travel to the party hall) is not charity?It's not a very good charity, granted. But it is still charitable.He should up a soup-kitchen thing but with potato salad instead of soup!Or, just donate at least 80% to a soupkitchen (and use the rest to make a stupid amount of potato salad).

Basically, he made a joke kickstarter for $10. He now has $50k that he didn't ask for.

There are literally hundreds of worthy causes that deserve funding, but don't get it, because a lot of people find it funnier to overfund the potato salad kickstarter. To some foundations and charities, $50k would be a godsend. In addition, publicly announcing the charity he donates it to would bring awareness to that charity, and maybe interest a few of the thousand or so people who are watching this go down.

Sure, he has every right to keep the money for himself, but I feel it would be selfish to do so; hence, I consider that option to be a dick move.

I suppose it would depend on where he is in life. To me, $50k would be a godsend to myself, my family, and my friends. I might actually be a dick but as much as I'd love to help those less fortunate than myself, my first concern is that my mother gets the medical care she needs, my bills and rent get paid so my gf and I can survive, and my friends have something to eat each day. Beyond that, sure, helping out people worse off than myself is a good use of whatever is left. It can also be difficult to find a charity that doesn't take excessive cuts for themselves, however.

Uhm dude, you just said the following: "I will heal the sick, house the (soon to be) homeless and feed the hungry." If that is your definition of selfishness then you are doing just fine in the morality department, don't worry about it.

I suppose, but had I started that Kickstarter and gotten the $50k and used in the manner I described, probably quietly, it would be me that LMNO would be calling a dick.

Your definition of "using it for yourself" is definitely not the same as mine.
